As soon as Wu Shigong's exclamation of "old woman!" came out, he secretly shouted in his heart: "No!" Wu Shigong subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands.
You know, Qin Liangyu is not only a woman, but also a general who leads the army. Maybe in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are a man, you can despise women. But Wu Shigong, who has a modern mentality, has seen a lot of strong women and white-bone spirits in modern times.
Although Wu Shigong's machismo is also very serious, he will never underestimate the ability of a capable woman.
Besides, now that the two armies have just joined forces, it is the time when they should support each other. But just now Wu Shigong offended Qin Liangyu for no apparent reason. Wu Shigong felt very regretful in his heart. What a mess!
Sure enough, Qin Liangyu stood up, slapped the big case hard, and shouted angrily: "You are outrageous!"
Qin Liangyu is the only female general recorded in history books in ancient Chinese history. Mu Guiying, who is more famous than Qin Liangyu, is a character in novels and on stage. She is completely innumerable. From this we can
It can be seen that Qin Liangyu's military talents such as training and fighting must be very outstanding. And Qin Liangyu is very proud of this.
However, as a female, Qin Liangyu was in the ranks of military attaches who were completely dominated by men, and in the social environment of the Ming Dynasty where men were superior to women. Therefore, in order to prove his ability, Qin Liangyu often worked several times harder than male military attaches.
But even so, other officials still vaguely looked down on Qin Liangyu. It wasn't that they looked down on her ability, but they just looked down on her as a woman. And this kind of situation happened repeatedly in front of Qin Liangyu, which made the sensitive Qin Liangyu particularly angry.
, for this reason, on several occasions, she even brought the lawsuit to the then Emperor Tianqi.
And now Wu Shigong's "old woman!" immediately seemed to step on Qin Liangyu's tail. Qin Liangyu thought this was Wu Shigong's contempt for herself as a woman. How could this make Qin Liangyu not furious?
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Wu Shigong's mind began to work rapidly. But for a moment, he could not think of any good way to ease the misunderstanding between the two.
Since there is no other way, what are you waiting for? The best thing to do is to take the best! Wu Shigong immediately raised his hand to Qin Liangyu and said: "General Qin has a heroic appearance. He doesn't like red makeup and prefers weapons. However, General Qin is busy with military affairs and has thousands of households.
I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll take my leave now.”
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Liangyu's reaction, Wu Shigong left Qin Liangyu's tent as if fleeing and returned to his own camp.
Wu Shigong's behavior made Qin Liangyu stunned. You must know that Qin Liangyu's official position is quite different from Wu Shigong's. In the Ming Dynasty, the official position of the general soldier was the highest military attache position. And then it goes up.
, it is necessary to add various titles.
Wu Shigong's official position of Thousand Households was still the official position of Thousand Households in the local military household. It can be said that he was just a middle- and low-level military attache. Therefore, Qin Liangyu's behavior of angrily scolding Wu Shigong just now was to give Wu Shigong a disdain.
If Wu Shigong kowtows and admits his mistake, Qin Liangyu will be ready to slap Wu Shigong in the mouth a few times, or slap Wu Shigong on the board a few times to punish Wu Shigong for his disrespectful behavior towards Shangguan. You know, Qin Liangyu has Shang Fang's sword, and the Ming Dynasty
The officialdom is very particular about etiquette, so this kind of punishment is already very light.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong was so careless that he neither kowtowed to admit his mistake, nor only gave Qin Liangyu the hand-over-hand salute of an official of the same rank. He also did not call himself "little" or "lower official" in front of Qin Liangyu, but called himself "
"Ben Qianhu" looked confident. After that, he walked away as if nothing happened.
If Wu Shigong was Qin Liangyu's direct subordinate, then Wu Shigong would have to shed his skin now. But Wu Shigong was not only not Qin Liangyu's subordinate, but he was also the leading military attaché of a Qinwang army in Henan. In addition, Qin Liangyu now wanted to ask for money from Wu Shigong.
Some food and fodder arrived, and at this moment, Qin Liangyu didn't know what to do with Wu Shigong.
If Wu Shigong is captured and punished, it is unlikely that Wu Shigong will be allowed to provide more food and grass. Looking at Wu Shigong's arrogant look, there might be a fight between the two armies. But if Wu Shigong is not punished, Qin Liangyu will
I can't bear this tone. Not to mention, let Qin Liangyu lose face and ask Wu Shigong for food and grass.
Qin Liangyu was in trouble, and her son, Ma Xianglin, rescued Qin Liangyu. Ma Xianglin said to Qin Liangyu: "Commander, since Wu Qianhu from Henan has already visited the Marshal, my son should also pay a return visit to them on behalf of the Marshal.
.”
After listening to his son's words, Qin Liangyu thought about it carefully, and finally nodded helplessly. Now there is only this way to go down the steps.
When he heard that a deputy commander of King Qin's army in Sichuan had come to visit him, Wu Shigong immediately went to the gate of the camp to greet him with a smile on his face. The reason why Wu Shigong was so enthusiastic was because until now, Wu Shigong still felt guilty.
After the two sides met and saluted, Ma Xianglin made a somewhat embarrassed request to Wu Shigong to support his white-pole soldiers with some grain and grass. Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong immediately agreed and immediately sent someone to deliver some grain and grass to Qin Liangyu's camp.
.Wu Shigong still feels a little guilty now. He is thinking of doing something to make up for it.
Not only that, Wu Shigong then warmly invited Ma Xianglin to have dinner with him, and Ma Xianglin, who did everything smoothly, happily accepted Wu Shigong's invitation.
When they walked into Wu Shigong's camp, Ma Xianglin and his followers carefully observed the situation of Wu Shigong's camp and the soldiers. Those followers couldn't help but see the tortoise shell-like construction method of Wu Shigong's camp.
Showing contempt.
Ma Xianglin's perspective of observation was different. Although he also felt that Wu Shigong's exaggerated pursuit of defense and the construction of a large camp were ridiculous. However, he had a higher opinion of the military quality and command and prohibition of Wu Shigong's soldiers.
You must know that for soldiers, being able to fight without fear of death is not the most important thing. What is more important is that they can endure hardship and endure boredom and boredom to do civil engineering projects like building a large camp. The reason for this is actually
Our great ancestor also said: First, don’t be afraid of suffering, and second, don’t be afraid of death. This suffering comes before death.
In addition, Wu Shigong's soldiers were all strong and rosy. You must know that the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were often very thin due to insufficient nutrition. Those with the physical condition of Wu Shigong's soldiers were all around the military attachés.
Those personal soldiers. But these soldiers of Wu Shigong have the body of a personal soldier.
In addition, Ma Xianglin saw a large number of firecrackers in the hands of Wu Shigong's soldiers, and also saw artillery in the camp. As for the horses of Wu Shigong's soldiers, Ma Xianglin estimated that there were no less than a thousand horses at a glance.
Therefore, at a glance, Ma Xianglin might not be able to fully estimate the combat effectiveness of Wu Shigong's soldiers, but he was deeply impressed by the wealth of Wu Shigong's army and the good physical condition of his soldiers.
After dinner, when Ma Xianglin returned to his camp, he immediately reported all his impressions of Wu Shigong's army to his mother Qin Liangyu. After learning about these situations, the mother and son immediately started discussing.
You must know that for this time, Qin Liangyu spent all his family property to provide military pay and supplies for the white-armed soldiers. But even so, when Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers came here, they only had very little food and grass left.
Although the white pole soldiers have outstanding military exploits, the entire army has always been poor. Just look at the weapons in their hands. The white pole soldiers, as the name suggests, are spearmen with spears made of white wax poles.
Among all weapons, the spear is the cheapest weapon because it uses the least amount of iron. White soldiers also know that firearms are powerful, and they also know that when a spear is combined with a firecracker or other weapons, it can kill
The enemy will be more effective, but just because they are poor, they cannot purchase many muskets and other weapons.
After knowing the situation of Wu Shigong's army, the mother and son seemed to feel that there was a big piece of fat beside them. However, it was definitely not possible to occupy Wu Shigong's army through plunder and robbery, and Qin Liangyu could not do such a thing.
So Qin Liangyu said to his son Ma Xianglin: "Go there again tomorrow and tell that brat that now that the troops have been united, he must obey my order. Let all the brat's troops be white poles."
He is an auxiliary soldier of the army, supplying us with food and grass and doing some chores. If he is disobedient, watch his head. Tell that brat that I have a Shang Fang sword, so I can kill him first and then show him off!"
